We have "Snow Day" this week on February 9th. See below for details on this winter-themed school day.
I have added a few more March dates on our Sign-Up Genius, If you're interested in either helping with Centers or Library, please check it out!
Spring parent-teacher conferences are coming up on March 2 through March 9. Check the sign-ups if you'd like to meet with me. These are optional conferences, but are available to anyone who would like an update on their child's progress.
Language Arts
Our sight words this week are my and you. These are more tricky words because the sounds don't follow the traditional phonics rules. We will also look at the digraph wh.
Math
We will continue with Module 4 this week. In class, I have noticed that some children are struggling when we move away from physical counters. Encourage your children to use their fingers to find the answers. Parent tips for this module can be found here.
UPCOMING
Valentines Day:
I know that valentines are now available in most stores, and children will be asking about our celebration. We will exchange cards in class on February 14th, but this is not a "party." We have a fun celebration of friendship, exchange valentines, and take them home to show our families. So that you can prepare for this event, I wanted to share some information:
- Please send in a card for each child. There are 24 total students in our class: 13 girls and 11 boys.
- Please ONLY sign the card & put nothing in the TO box. It is challenging enough for kindergartners to pass out valentines to all their classmates. Having the "to" part filled out makes this extremely challenging and it takes far too long. Thank you for your help with this!
- Please try to purchase valentines that do not have candy attached. I know those can sometimes be hard to find, but there are good choices with stickers, play tattoos, and other non-food goodies.
